The order of the natural numbers shown on the number line. A number line is a graphical representation of a straight line that serves as spatial representation of numbers, usually graduated like a ruler with a particular origin point representing the number zero and evenly spaced marks in either direction representing integers, imagined to extend infinitely.
Unlike a number line, which extends horizontally and infinitely, the Math Arrow displays the whole numbers from 0 to 100 in a pair of parallel zigzag lines. [2] The numbers on the left-hand zigzag run from 0 at the bottom to 50 at the top; on the right-hand zigzag they run from 50 at the top to 100 at the bottom (the number 50 appears twice, at the top of both zigzags).
The lowest game score since 1957 was Oakland pitcher Mike Oquist's, who allowed 16 hits and 14 earned runs in five innings on August 3, 1998, for a −21. In terms of high scores, the system favors current pitchers in some ways. It is difficult to achieve a very high score in a game without amassing a substantial number of strikeouts.
whiff rate: a term, usually used in reference to pitchers, that divides the number of pitches swung at and missed by the total number of swings in a given sample. If a pitcher throws 100 pitches at which batters swing, and the batters fail to make contact on 26 of them, the pitcher's whiff rate is 26%.
The line score is a two-line chart that reports each team's run totals by inning, and total runs, total hits, and total errors on a line. The visiting team is on the top line and the home team on the bottom line. The terms top of the inning and bottom of the inning are derived from their positions in the line score. Sometimes, the winning team ...
Greene beat out a pitcher by the name of Jacob deGrom for the record. Most 100.0+ mph pitches in game, pitch-tracking era (since 2008): **Tonight Hunter Greene: 39**
Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. To put in perspective the size of a googol, the mass of an electron, just under 10 −30 kg, can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 10 50 and 10 60 kg. [ 5 ]
The Numbers Do Lie. Seth Lugo’s 2.13 ERA is a lie. ... Any pitcher with a 2.13 ERA is clearly due for regression, but Lugo’s 15.4 K-BB% hints at his being severe. His ERA ranks sixth among 71 ...
